2nd Gen Street/ Drag/ Pro Touring Front Suspension Upgrade ??????

[WANTSUM411]

I Own & Run a Small Shop That Specializes in LS Swaps ,Wiring , Gauges , Ect. My Car / Shop Car is a 1972 SS Camaro with a LS1/T56..H & C with all Bolt ons . My Shop is Growing & we have Just moved into a new Building & My Camaro is Due for some Upgrades .....I have Been a Drag Racer for Years....6 Power Tours so my Car sees a lot of Street time .
I have a Full VFN Fiberglass Kit Front End Kit coming & have been Looking at Tubular A Arm / Coil Over Kits til my head is Bangin ! I have Visited this Site for a while & Now I'm In ...My Car has a Chromoly Cage from Madman , Solid Aluminum Body Mounts , All Calvert Rear with Split Mono Leafs & Cal Tracs ( will upgrade rear shock setup later ), Sub Frame Connectors ,AGR 12.1 Steering Box....I think that's most of it ??
I am Looking for a Tubular A Arm Setup with Coilovers & I am Adding a Set of Wilwood Dynalite 4 Piston Drilled & Slotted up Front. The Car will See A lot of Street...some Dragstrip ...& I look Forward to Some Track Events .
If there are any Suppliers who have a Jobber/Dealer? Program Please let me know , I was Looking at SmithRacecraft Chromoly A Arms ar 5lbs Upper & 7lbs Lower but feel they are more Drag Race Only & Afco Coilovers...Also Looking at the SpeedTech Setup & RideTech .THANKS in Advance for Any Help !

Pick the Wilwood kit carefully. The Dynalites have a smaller pad Sq In than the stock disc pads do, and many kits use the 10.75 rotor that is also smaller diameter and thinner. OK for a drag car or light street car but may be tough pulling a heavy second gen down from speed. I think they do make a 12.19 Dynalite kit but I'd look at kits with another caliper.

Sent you a PM with some info and some contact info.

Thanks for all the Info & The Jobber Info !
What Do I need to be Looking at on The Brakes ? Just a Change in The Calipers ??? Which Ones ? I Planned on the 12.19 4 Piston Kit , Drilled & Slotted ....I think ...Gathering Intel here :-) Also the New VFN Front Cap & Bumpers Come in at a Grand Total of 50lbs ...Bolt on Hood with Aerocatch Hood Pin Latches Along with Tubular Upper & Lowers , Coilovers , with The Brake kit ..I will Also be Losing my Hood Latch Assymb. ..What are Your Guesses on Weight Loss ???? Car is 3300lbs Now.
BMR ,I Looked at Your Stuff But You Have Nothing for the Front Suspension of my Car ???....I Have a 8.8 I will Build to Replace my 8.5 10 Bolt Eventually when I Mini Tub The Back ........
Yea I got about 70 Track Passes Out of that 10 Bolt Leavin at 7000RPM on Slicks before it needed to be Rebuilt .

Might think again about the 8.5. They use many of the same bearing sizes as the GM 12 bolt. You can get a 30 spline Eaton posi, 33 spline spool and upgrade to good 30 spline axles and have a stout rear. Get some taper bearing ends welded on and no spitting an axle out. Bet it would be about as strong as the 8.8.

Heck my 78 TA has been using stock 28 spline axles behind 550+ HP and slicks for years with an Eaton, but granted not a stick.

Rear End is Built ...Mosier 30 Spline Axles , Detroit Locker with a Girdle & Main Cap Braces .It is out of a '79 TA with Factory Disc (for now) It has held up WELL...for 70 Dragstrip Passes Leaving at 7000 RPM & a Sidestep of the Clutch...All is Fresh now after 7yrs of Dragstrip Beatings & 26k of Street Time , 6 Power Tours ,with about 1200 miles on Fresh Parts now.
Car Runs 11.40's 1/4....7,20's 1/8 with a Lil Tire Spin .... Full Interior All Steel with Stock Springs up front...yeah that Killed Transfer but it's a H&C 346 LS 1 with Rod Bolts & 128k on the Shortblock .

Looking Real Hard at The Speed Tech Kit with the Viking Dbl Adj Coilovers , Chromoly Sway Bar & Billet Tie Rod Sleeves ....anybody Used This Kit ?????

[WANTSUM411]

Nobody has any Feedback on the Speed Tech Kit ??? Or the Smith Racecrafts Tubular A Arms ??
Also the PTFB Stuff Looks Real Nice as do their Brake kits & Pro G Brace Kits, I do not want to mix & Match A Arm Setups ...would like all Parts the from the Same Co.
I have also been finding some SPC Control Arms ???They look Cool but how Dependable & Street worthy are They & how do they Perform ?
Feedback from anybody Using these Setups would be Great !
